Character Bios: Black Hayate

The true dog of the military. Black Hayate was a little puppy that Fuery picked up on a rainy street one day out of pity. Since he couldn’t keep the dog himself (living in a dorm that didn't allow pets), the puppy was eventually adopted by Riza Hawkeye, who proceeded to freak out the puppy (and all of Mustang's staff) by shooting an outline of bullets around it (not hurting it) when it urinated on the office wall. Despite Riza's harsh methods of discipline, Hayate is a way for her to show her more compassionate side, as opposed to the cool, stone-faced officer that she usually is. Roy has also tried to interact with Black Hayate, with varying degrees of success. Hayate did manage to get on Mustang's bad side at least once: when he indirectly wasted Mustang and his company's time at what they thought was a murder scene. Mustang and his men had begun excavation of the site searching for the bones of a dead man, only to discover that the lot was where Black Hayate buried the bones from his meals. "Hayate" means Hurricane.
